Italian Light, 100 lampade della collezione Cortopassi
No full textThe book, using as a pretext 100 lamps of Cortopassi collection, highlights, a history made of little events, single designers, fortuitous coincidences and exhibitions appointment constantly repeated to mark and highlight the continuous trasformations. A history made of individual researches developed for decades in an endless need for self-surprise, self-reference, self-promoting, self-criticism. Company histories linked to single or infinite designers, single or infinite products typologies, single or infinite images, are features allowing manifold historical reading in which the only certainty is the need of classifyng, in a non-reductive form, all the design made in the last 60s in Italy

Evolution and characterization of the quarry waste in relation to slope stability: preliminary evaluation in the Carrara marble basin (Italy)
No full textThe Carrara marble quarries (Apuan Alps, north-western Tuscany) are among the most famous in the world and nowadays are also a tourist resource. In time, the intense quarrying formed wide and thick dumps of waste block and pebble material (locally named ravaneti), representing a typical landscape of the Apuan area. Nowadays, a great amount of quarry dumps lies on steep slopes and invades many valley bottoms, where usually there is only underground water flow, without any superficial flow. During rainstorms, the water level may quickly rise to a significant runoff. This often causes floods, landslides and debris flows, as recently occurred on September 23, 2003. In such a context, this research aimed at determining the triggering conditions of the instability phenomena involving quarry waste. In particular, three quarry dumps were selected in the Torano basin (upstream of Carrara). At first, the spatial and morphological evolution of the dumps was studied, trying to understand also the different grain size of the material accumulated in time; then, a detailed geomorphologic analysis was performed, individuating several areas with different characteristics (quarry activity, instability phenomena, debris flow prone areas, land use, etc). Finally, many grain size analyses were carried out in the three quarry dumps. The wide heterogeneity of the grain size needed two methodologies: the coarse fraction (blocks and pebbles) was analysed by means of image analysis, while the finer material (gravel, sand, silt and clay) was analysed in laboratory. The research is clearly in progress, nevertheless represents a first important step to individuate the triggering factors of debris flow phenomena in quarry dumps. In fact, the hazard estimation of the quarry areas is extremely important: for protecting quarrymen and quarrying activity, for the safety of the densely populated areas downstream and for protecting and appreciating the tourist appeal
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
A&P Investigaciones - Perspectivas sobre el componente natural en el espacio urbano
No full textCon el auspicio de esta Secretaría, el Comité Editorial de A&P INVESTIGACIONES, inauguramos ahora una nueva línea de A&P destinada específicamente a la investigación científica. Con el propósito de ofrecer a los docentes, investigadores y equipos de investigación un recurso esencial de divulgación y difusión de su producción científico-técnico, que cumplimente con los parámetros de calidad editorial para que, a mediano plazo, sea indizada en bases de datos de relevancia nacional e internacional. En este marco, se recuperaron trabajos pendientes de edición y se invitó a los docentes de la casa a enviar contribuciones que aporten al tema propuesto: "Perspectiva sobre el componente natural en la construcción del territorio"Fil: Secretaria de Ciencia y Tecnología - Universidad Nacional de Rosario.

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
A&P Investigaciones Aprender haciendo/ Investigar las prácticas
No full textEn el 2018 celebramos los 10 años de ARQUITECTURA INVESTIGA, las históricas jornadas
que se desarrollan en la Facultad de Arquitectura, Planeamiento y Diseño de la UNR desde
2008
Durante una década, las Jornadas ARQUITECTURA INVESTIGA han ofrecido a sus docentes
investigadores un espacio de reflexión sobre los avances de los distintos Programas
y Proyectos de Investigación desarrollados en la FAPyD. Las tres últimas ediciones se
promovieron determinadas temáticas y contaron con el desarrollo paralelo de eventos
específicos: Primer Encuentro de Institutos, Centros y Grupos de Investigación de la FAPYD
(2015), Foro de Habitat y Vivienda (2016) y Jornada Habitar ecosistemas en riesgo (2017).
En la décima edición, se propuso impulsar una de las líneas de investigación establecidas
como prioritarias en la FAPyD y en la UNR: “Práctica proyectual y su vinculación a demandas
sociales” (CD 432/16), poniendo especial énfasis en una perspectiva pedagógica: aquella
que recoge las experiencias realizadas y estrategias didácticas que involucran el “aprender
haciendo”, “ investigar las prácticas”. Esto es, situarse en el lado de la cultura material,
entender el proceso de producción de la arquitectura, no exclusivamente desde las búsquedas
personales y experiencias de laboratorio, sino como una práctica, “donde las habilidades,
destrezas y conocimientos del ser humano se ponen en juego y que (en tanto interactúan
con otras personas) generan cohesión en aquel espacio y en aquella sociedad” R. Sennett, El

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
